Principal
Ryan Stengle
Founder, Mad Sherpa Consulting
Growth leader with 18+ years scaling regulated-market platforms — from early-stage market entry to multi-billion-dollar asset growth — across behavioral healthcare, health tech, and financial services.
The combination is the unfair advantage: a Wall Street capital-markets brain (T. Rowe Price, WisdomTree, Arrow, Thrivent — UCITS structuring, cross-border ETF expansion, $650M → $1.2B in distribution) applied to the operational problems that actually move enterprise value inside a SUD program.
On the clinical side: scaled SUD operations from 40 → 150 beds, drove a 36-bed detox unit from 50% → 85% occupancy in three months at Pinnacle Treatment Centers, and rebuilt same-day admission workflows across 18 OTP clinics. Specialist in Methadone-continuity detox and hospital-integrated growth.
Also founder of Recovery & Wealth, a behavioral-finance platform for people in recovery — lived experience plus operator chops, not a consultant looking in from the outside.
